Answer:

potential energy is the energy that is stored in an object due to its position relative to some zero position. An object possesses gravitational potential energy if it is positioned at a height above (or below) the zero height.

If an object is projected upward with an initial velocity of 127 ft per? sec, its height h after t seconds is h equals negative

Stolb23 [73]

To determine the height of the object given the time, we simply use the given relation between height and time in the problem statement. It is given as:

h = -16t^2 + 127t

We substitute 55 seconds to t and obtain,

h = -16(55)^2 + 127(55)
h = - 41415

two cars are moving at constant speeds in a straight line along a major highway. The first is travelling at 20ms^-1 and the seco

Reika [66]

Answer:

$t=750s$

Explanation:

The two cars are under an uniform linear motion. So, the distance traveled by them is given by:

$\Delta x=vt\\x_f-x_0=vt\\x_f=x_0+vt$

$x_f$ is the same for both cars when the second one catches up with the first. If we take as reference point the initial position of the second car, we have:
